The baby American cockroach is darker in colour as compared to adults, and just like German baby roaches, they develop wings as they grow.

You’ll rarely see a baby American cockroach crawling outside along with the adults. These small and immature roaches stay hidden in the dark and moist areas until they’re old enough to live on their own. That’s why we only see adults instead of baby roaches.

A Few Pictures of Baby Cockroaches

What does it mean if you see baby cockroaches?

If you see a cockroach crawling in the daytime, then you can expect 10 to 20 times more at night.

But, if you see baby roaches in the daytime, then the situation is a lot worse.

First, most of the roaches come out at night. So, you can expect many times more at night.

Second, babies stay hidden until they grow enough to survive on their own. So, if you see a baby cockroach outside, it means there are a lot of babies present in your house. This means, there is heavy roach infestation and they’ve a nest in your house.

Seeing them crawling is also an indication that in the coming days their population is going to grow exponentially.

Hi Allen, there is no perfect answer to your question. In my opinion, a landlord is responsible for any broken parts or accessories in the property, but cockroaches don’t come under landlord property. But, if you think in another way, they get attracted towards dirty places, and a landlord is responsible for that.
Note: I have almost zero knowledge of landlord and property thing. So, don’t rely on it. I just shared my opinion.
